Role of type 1 and type 3 fimbriae in
BMC Microbiology, 2010 Background Klebsiella pneumoniae is an important gram-negative opportunistic pathogen causing primarily urinary tract infections, respiratory infections, and bacteraemia. The ability of bacteria to form biofilms on medical devices, e.g.

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019 Biofilm formation by Klebsiella pneumoniae on indwelling medical devices increases the risk of infection. Both type 1 and type 3 fimbriae are important factors in biofilm formation by K. pneumoniae. We found that a putative enzyme II (EII) complex of the

Arginine within a specific motif near the N‐terminal of FimY is critical for the maximal production of type 1 fimbriae in Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium [PDF]
MicrobiologyOpen, 2019 An important Salmonella serovar for both human and animals Salmonella Typhimurium possesses 13 gene clusters that have the potential to produce fimbrial structure, among which the type 1 fimbriae with the binding specificity to mannose residue is the ...

Journal of Microbiology, Immunology and Infection, 2023 Background: CpxAR is a two-component system that allows bacteria to reorganize envelope structures in response to extracellular stimuli. CpxAR negatively affects type 1 fimbriae expression in Klebsiella pneumoniae CG43, a hypervirulent strain.

Type 1 fimbriae of Salmonella enteritidis [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1991 Salmonella enteritidis was previously shown to produce fimbriae composed of 14,000-molecular-weight (Mr) fimbrin monomers (J. Feutrier, W. W. Kay, and T. J. Trust, J. Bacteriol. 168:221-227, 1986). Another distinct fimbrial structure, comprising 21,000-Mr fimbrin monomers, has now been identified.

The role of urease in the acid stress response and fimbriae expression in Klebsiella pneumoniae CG43
Journal of Microbiology, Immunology and Infection, 2022 Background/purpose: Two urease operons were identified in Klebsiella pneumoniae CG43, ure-1 and ure-2. This study investigates whether a differential regulation of the expression of ure-1 and ure-2 exists and how urease activity influences the acid ...

Antigens Of The Type-2 Fimbriae Of Salmonellae: "Cross-Reacting Material" (Crm) Of Type-1 Fimbriae [PDF]
Journal of Medical Microbiology, 1971 Summary Antisera were prepared against the type-1 fimbriae of three strains of Salmonella paratyphi B and against the type-2 fimbriae of two strains of S. paratyphi B and one strain of S. pullorum. The anti-type-1 and anti-type-2 sera agglutinated fimbriate-phase bacteria possessing either type-1 or type-2 fimbriae.

Functional heterogeneity of type 1 fimbriae of Escherichia coli [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 1992 Escherichia coli and other members of the family Enterobacteriaceae express surface fibrillar structures, fimbriae, that promote bacterial adhesion to host receptors. Type 1 fimbriae possess a lectinlike component, FimH, that is commonly thought to cause binding to mannose-containing oligosaccharides of host receptors.
